Mining  on  Lake  nti«r»  ?r»  no  longer  an  experiment  ;  and  the  result  of  their  labors 
has  given  increased  value  to  all  the  mineral  land  in  their  vicinity.  In  184.9,  they 
produced  $11,064  worth  of  ore;  in  1850,  over  700  tons  of  line  Copper;  ia  1851, 
918  tons ;  in  1852,  045  tona.  During  tlie  past  winter,  about  500  tons  from  the 
Skimpings  alone,  and  it  is  estimated  that  two  thousand  tons  will  be  got  out  during 
this  year.  They  have  as  yet  been  unable  to  get  the  i'e(]uisite  number  of  Vessels 
to  transport  the  ore,  such  has  been  the  rapid  productiveness  of  the  mines,  the  Cop- 
per is  of  the  finest  quality,  and  enjoys  a  Avorld-wide  celebrity,  from  its  having 
taken  the  prize  at  the  World's  Fair  in  London,  in  1851  ;  it  conmiands  the  highest 
price  in  the  Swansea  Market,  and  the  success  of  the  Montreal  Mining  Company, 
in  spite  of  a  large  and  unnecessary  outlay,  is  placed  beyond  a  doubt. 

In  view  of  these  circumstances,  the  Directors  of  the  Copper  Bay  Mining  Company 
feel  that  the  time  has  arrived  Avhen  active  operations  should  be  commenced  upon 
their  property,  which  adjoins  the  Bruce  iMinos.  is  of  (M[ual  size,  namely : — 2  miles  of 
frontage  on  the  Lake,  by  5  in  depth,  containing  (3,400  acres,  and  through  which 
the  same  veins,  now  being  worked  by  the  Montreal  Mining  Company,  traverse  it 
diagonally  in  a  north  westerly  direction.  The  richness  and  extent  of  these  veins 
on  the  Copper  Bay  Company's  location,  are  proven  by  the  explorations  made  by 
Captain  Harris  and  Mr.  Fairthorne,  with  a  party  of  six  luen,  in  bt^half  of  the  Com- 
pany in  1848.     We  make  the  following  extracts  from  their  letters  : 

Mr.  Fairthorne  writes  under  date  of  Jan.  25.  1848. 

"The  men  are  now  employed  in  sinking  a  shaft  on  the  vein  which  crops  out  in 
the  Lake.     They  have  proceeded  to  the  depth  of  17  feet.     The  ore  is  very  riSh." 

May  1st,  1848,  he  says  :  '"  ^Ir.  Harris  has  visited  a  vein  4  miles  back,  ic  is  ex- 
actly on  the  line  between  the  Hincks  and  (*oji]>cr  Bay  location,  7  or  a  8  feet  in 
width,  of  a  most  promising  character.  This,  no  dou})t,  is  a  continuation  of  one  of 
the  Bruce  Mine  veins." 

Jan.  25,  1848,  Captain  Harris  writes  as  folloAvs  :  "  We  are  now  down  17  feet  in 
the  shaft.  I  confidently  expect  in  a  short  time  to  have  as  good  a  vein  as  there  is 
on  Lake  Huron.  I  have  traced  the  largest  and  V»est  vein  on  Bruce  location,  within 
60  yards  of  Copper  Bay.  ; 

Juue  18,  1848,  Captain  Harris  writes:  "I  beg  to  inform  the  board,  that  the 
prospects  of  "  Copper  Bay  Company,*'  are  far  su]ierior  to  any  other  in  this  region, 
except  only  the  Bruce,  and  it  is  my  firm  l)eliei',  if  the  Copper  Bay  location  is  fairly 
tested,  there  is  nothing  in  this  region  will  exceed  it.  The  veins  on  Bruce  location 
are  being  uncovered  and  all  run  towards  (Jopper  Bay,  and  they  look  to  be  very 
productive  indeed.  Three  miners  employed  on  one  of  the  Bruce  veins,  70  yards 
from  us,  took  out  50  tons  of  very  rich  ore  in  one  month." 

Again,  on  4th  September,  1848,  Captain  Harris  says  :  "  I  have,  since  I  last  wrote, 
discovered  a  vein  near  the  line  between  us  and  Bruce  Mine  location  4  feet  wide. 
The  ores  exactly  correspond  with  the  Bruce  Mine." 

,  These  opinions  were  subsequently  veritiod  by  the  explorations  of  W.  E.  Logan, 
illsq.,  F.  H.  S.,  the  Provincial  Geologist  of  Canada,  for  many  years  employed  under 
Sir  Hem  V  De  La  Beche  on  the  Geological  Survey  in  England,  long  a  resident  and 
!>racticpJ  co^iier  smelter  in  Swansea,  and  faniiliar  with,  copper  minina"  in  all  its 
letails.     We  publish  a  few  extracts  from  his  report  : 


1 


"TM  North  Shore  of  Lako  Huron,  in  so  far  as  it  has  come  under  my  observation, 
presenw  an  undulatinj^  country,  rising  into  hills  which  sometimes  attain  the  height 
of  400knd  700  feet  abuv^  the  lake.  These  occasionally  exhibit  rugged  escarp- 
ments |nd  naked  rocky  surfaces  ;  but  in  general,  their  summits  are  rather  rounded, 
and  thlfir  flanks,  with  the  valleys  separating  one  range  from  another,  are  most  fro- 
quentlyj  well  clothed  with  hard  and  soft  wood,  often  of  large  growth,  and  of  such 
species^as  are  valuable  in  commerce  ;  in  nmny  places  giving  promise  of  a  good  arable 
soil.     JIany  of  the  slopes  are  gentle,  and  many  of  the  valleys  wide. 

"  Fijk  principal  rivers,  besides  several  of  inferior  note,  flow  througli  the  country, 
and  it  Appears  to  abound  in  lakes.  The  principal  streams  arc  the  Thessalon,  the 
Missisigui,  the  Serpent,  the  Spanish  River,  and  the  White  Fish,  of  which  the  mouths 
are  fr(^  a  fifteen  to  thirty  miles  apart.  The  Mississagui  and  the  Spanish  Rivers  are 
the  lar]  ;est  two,  the  reported  length  of  the  former  being  120,  and  of  the  latter  200 
miles  ;  the  other  three  are  probably  not  much  over  fifty  to  sixty  miles  each.  In  the 
distano  )8  measured,  the  Thcssalon  and  the  Mississagui  flow  from  the  north-west  to 
the  sou;h-east,  the  Spanish  River  from  the  north  of  east  to  the  south  of  west,  and 
this  is  n  a-vigable  for  craft  drawing  not  over  five  feet,  for  thirty-five  miles  from  its  mouth. 

"  Thi  series  of  rocks  occupying  this  country  from  the  connecting  link  between 
Lake  Huron  and  Superior  to  the  vicinity  of  Shebawenahning,  a  distance  of  120 
miles,  ilth  a  breadth  in  some  places  of  ten,  and  in  others  exceeding  twenty  miles, 
it  appelrs  to  me,  must  be  taken  as  belonging  to  one  formation  ;  on  the  west  it  seems 
to  rejjSe  on  the  granite  which  Avas  represented  in  my  Report  on  Lake  Superior,  as 
running  to  the  east  of  Gros  Cap,  north  of  Sault  Ste.  Marie  ;  on  the  east  the  same 
supportng  granite  was  observed  by  Mr.  Murray  north  of  La  Cloche,  between  three 
and  foi  miles  in  a  straight  line  up  the  Riviere  an  Sable,  a  south  flowing  tributary 
of  thelpanish  River  ;  and  again,  about  an  equal  distance  up  another  and  parallel 
tributJ-y,  joining  that  stream  eight  miles  farther  from  its  mouth  ;  in  both  cases  about 
ten  mils  from  the  coast.  The  series  is  to  be  divided  into  rocks  of  a  sedimentary, 
and  rciks  of  an  igneous  origin. 

"  Thi  metalliferous  veins  intersect  all  the  rocks  that  have  been  mentioned.  They 
are  prdbably  themselves  intersected  by  cross  courses,  breaking  their  regular  con- 
tinmtj^  but  that  slips  or  displacements  of  the  country  on  opposite  sides  of  the 
veins  tili7e  occurred,  when  the  fissures  were  formed  that  constitute  their  mould  or 
recepta^jle,  is  not  left  in  doul)t.  Numerous  instances  were  observed,  where  both 
granitiand  greenstone  dykes,  cut  by  the  metalliferous  veins,  were  suddenly  heaved 
considerably  out  of  tlieir  course.  This  fact  may  by  some  be  deemed  valuable,  as 
ahewin|  the  probable  great  depth  and  distance  to  which  the  veins  may  run.  Tho 
metal  ^hich  these  veins  hold  in  the  greatest  quantity  is  copper,  and  the  ores  in 
which  \t  occurs  are  vitreous  copper,  variegated  copper  and  copper  pyrites.  Iron 
pyritesfis  sometimes  associated  with  them,  but  in  general  not  in  large  quantity. 
Copp^4)yrites,  in  one  instance,  was  accompanied  by  rutile,  and  in  another  by  the 
arsenuretted  sulphuret  of  iron  and  nickel  containing  a  trace  of  cobalt.  The  gangue; 
or  vein  stone,  in  which  the  ores  are  contained,  is  in  general  white  quartz,  and  there^ 
is  very  often  present,  but  not  in  very  great  quantity,  white  compact  dolomite,  whichj 
in  druses  assumes  the  forms  of  pearl  spar,  and  bro-n  or  bitter  spar  ;  calc-spar  alsoii 
appears  occasionally  iu  druses  in  dog-tooth  crystals. 


"The  veins  vary  in  broudtli  IVom  ;i  few  inclic!^  to  HOinoiinies  Ihirtyfoct.  Imt  whon 
of  this  last  great  breadth,  or  oveu  inueh  los^s.  they  usually  contain  a  conniderabh^ 
•  amount  of  brecciated  wall  rock  mixed  up  with  the  «ianj<ue  :  many  of  them  range 
from  one  to  three  and  four  feet,  and  their  slope  or  underlie  varies  from  about  50'' 
to  90**.  From  such  as  might  be  considered  master  lode^,  innumerable  branches  of 
various  sizes  start,  some  of  which  visibly  diminish  before  ju-oceeding  far.  and 
dwindle  to  nothing,  while  others  maintain  moderate  widths,  with  much  regularity, 
for  considerable  distances,  and  may  run  to  a  junction  with  ]»arallel  lodes.  The 
lodes  have  a  bearing  agreeing  with  the  general  strike  of  the  formation,  which 
roughly  coincides  with  the  general  trend  of  the  coast.  They  are  thus,  in  a  rude 
way,  parallel  to  one  another,  and  run  in  a  direction  between  west  and  north  west, 
more  nearly  approaching  the  latter." 

Speaking  of  a  lode  worked  by  the  Montreal  Mining  location,  he  says : 

"This  last  exhibition  of  the  lode  approaches  to  within  about  sixty-iive  yards  of 
the  western  boundary  of  the  location ;  and  there  appears  no  reason  to  doubt  that 
this,  and  such  other  lodes  as  conie  up  parallel  with  it.  will  carry  into  the  succeeding 
location  the  same  characteristics  they  bring  to  the  vicinity  of  the  boundary.  The 
same  greenstone  as  exists  on  the  one  location,  is  carried  into  the  other  in  the 
prolongation  of  the  belt  that  has  been  given  as  the  area  holding  the  lodes  ;  and 
while  this  would  lead  us  to  expect  no  change  in  the  mineral  condition  of  the  metal- 
lift  ous  veins,  it  would  at  the  same  time  seem  to  point  out  (the  stratified  nature  of 
the  whole  formation  taken  into  account)  tlmt  no  dislocation  of  uncommon  magni- 
tude has  occurred  to  heave  them  to  any  unusually  great  extent  on  one  side  or  the 
other  of  their  continued  course  and  general  bearing. 

"The  view  I  have  taken  of  the  physical  structure  of  the  front  of  the  Bruce  Mines 
location,  is  predicated  upon  the  supposition,  that  the  true  dip  of  the  limestone  band 
above  the  French  Islands,  is  northward,  and  that  the  band  is  not  to  be  found 
between  the  Thcssalon  and  the  coast,  on  this  location,  or  any  to  the  eastward. 
Although  it  was  not  observed,  it  is  so  narrow  that  if  may,  notwithstanding,  be 
concealed  on  the  north  side  of  the  front  greenstone :  should  it  be  discovered  there, 
the  problem  of  the  structure  would  be  very  simply  solved.  The  greenstone  would 
then  evidently  appear  to  be  on  the  crown  of  an  anticlinal,  and  all  the  phenomena 
of  the  locality  would  oe  accounted  for.  The  Ijend  of  the  arch  would  account  for 
the  fissures  which  have  given  space  for  the  secretion  of  the  mineral  veins,  and  the 
sandstone  of  Eagle  Point  would  be  the  greenstone's  supj^orting  rock,  approaching 
which  the  quantity  of  copper  in  the  lode  diminishes.  This  structure  would  be  the 
most  favorable  for  the  mines,  as  the  probability  would  l)e,  that  the  lode  would 
maintain  its  productive  quality  westward,  with  an  increasing  depth  all  the  way. 

"The  quantity  of  copper  ore  and  undressed  vein  stuft"  above  ground  at  the  Bruce 
Mines  at  the  time  of  sampling  them  in  the  beginning  of  July,  it  will  be  perceived, 
hj  a  roference  to  a  table  in  another  page,  was  estimated  at  14T5  tons.  The  average 
produce  is  8.01  per  cent,  (equal  to  the  average  of  the  dressed  ores  of  Cornwall,) 
givino-  about  118  tons  of  pure  copper,  which,  allowing  for  the  mode  of  assay  and 
\  wastf^in  dressing,  would  yield  upwards  of  650  tons  of  15.00  per  cent,  ore.  At  ±e 
'  time  of  my  departure,  much  activity  prevailed  in  working  the  lodes,  and  an  expec

tatioii  was  eiiterlaiucd  by  tho  miuiiig  captains  that  25H  tons  of  «u(;li  ore  might  be 
raised  monthly.  One  hundred  and  sixty-three  persona  were  employed  in  carrying . 
on  the  operations  connected  with  the  mines,  consisting  of  seventy-seven  miners, 
sixty-five  laborers,  four  boys,  eleven  blacksmiths,  carpenters  and  other  artizans, 
two  mining  captains,  one  engineer,  two  clerks,  and  a  superintendent,  constituting  a 
population,  including  the  families  of  tho  workmen,  of  about  two  hundred  and  lift}

The  above  sketch  shows  the  relative  position  of  the  property  of  this  Company 
to  that  held  by  the  Montreal  Company,  and  the  direction  of  one  of  the  largest 
veins  now  worked  by  them.  . 

With  a  property  equally  valuable  as  the  Bruce,  having  the  experience  of  the 
Montreal  Mining  Company  derived  useful  lessons  of  economy,  smelting  works, 
warehouses,  and  Avharves,  of  which  we  can  avail  ourselves  at  a  reasonable  rate,  and 
the  quantity  and  quality  of  ore  established  by  their  operations,  which  have  been 
extended  to  a  depth  of  three  hundred  feet ;  the  Directors  of  the  Huron  Copper  Bay 
Co.npany  have  but  little  hesitation  in  recommending  immediate  action  at  Lake 
Huron.  The  Company  arc  free  from  debt,  and  have  a  sufficient  amount  of  reserved 
stock,  if  sold  at  a  fair  rate,  to  prosecute  their  operations  for  a  considerable  time 
without  assessments,  perhaps  until  the  first  sale  of  ore  shall  have  placed  us  beyond 
that  necessity.  If,  however,  those  interested  will  glance  an  eye  over  the  subjoined 
statement  of  the  Copper  Stocks  in  England  and  the  United  States,  they  can  have 
but  little  hesitation  in  readily  answering  any  moderate  call  tho  Direotora  may  fird 
it  necessary  to  make  npon  them,  to  carry  out  the  views  which  they  have  unanimouBly 
._.^  4.^^  Should  it,  however,  be  deemed  advisable  to  divide  the  location,  there  are 
parties  now  in  negotiation  who  would  readily  pay  .$50,000  for  one-half  of  it,  but  we 
trust  no  such  alternative  will  bv  vour  action  will  be  presented,  and  doubt  not  thai
